Practicing business and practicing medicine

To be honest, in Bian Mu's mind, the concept of lifelong responsibility for the patient's later health is really weak.

It is said that when a few architects successfully designed a railway bridge, the architects had to sit next to the driver when the first car was launched. If there was anything wrong with the railway bridge, they would have to pay the price for their wrong design.

Not only that, after several years, if there was any problem with the railway bridge, the architects would be immediately included in the list of people to be investigated. If the cause of the problem had nothing to do with the design plan they had originally formulated, they would naturally have no responsibility. Otherwise, the relevant responsibility would be immediately followed up.

Responsibility!

This is professional responsibility!

Professional responsibility for lifelong responsibility!

As a doctor, the same applies!

However, Bian Mu was still young, and Kuang Yiheng and others had never emphasized similar things, so he did not strengthen it in his mind.

After the reminder from the old herbal farmers, Bian Mu naturally became more alert.

For patients who have been treated by themselves, they must be responsible for them. Strictly speaking, it is also a lifelong responsibility, especially for those patients who have been completely cured by themselves.

After making the first call, Bian Mu felt a little relieved.

"I guess... some conflicts between doctors and patients may come from this..." Bian Mu couldn't help but ponder for a long time.

Dong Yuhu is different from her sister Dong Yushan. She is relatively simple and usually very kind to Bian Mu. Bian Mu has asked her for knowledge about Chinese medicine preparations many times. As long as it does not involve the company's technical secrets, Dong Yuhu will generally answer patiently and carefully. Bian Mu originally had some basics, and after her repeated guidance, he naturally made rapid progress.

Some time ago, when he met Dong Yushan on the street, Bian Mu inexplicably hit a soft nail. Later, after asking his former colleague Lao Li, Bian Mu learned that Dong Yuhu was in poor health. Bian Mu had been thinking about making a phone call to say hello, but he forgot it when he was busy afterwards.

Besides, Chinese medicine has always emphasized "doctors don't knock on the door", and Bian Mu has always abided by the rules, so naturally he didn't make trouble out of nothing.

Thinking of this, Bian Mu tried to call Dong Yuhu.

"You haven't come to work yet at this time?"

"I'm on the afternoon shift, it's after 2:30. I haven't contacted you for a long time. Is your clinic running well?" On the phone, I could tell that Dong Yuhu had a normal relationship with me, at least not as hostile as her sister Dong Yushan.

"Just getting by, just to make a living! I heard from the concierge, Old Li, that you were feeling unwell?"

"Not bad! I got some medicine from Professor Meng, and I'm much better!"

"Teacher Meng Shulan?"

"Yes! Mr. Qin asked someone to make an appointment."

"Is that so... That's good, that's good! It's been raining recently! I remember that you seem to have a phlegm-damp constitution, so I thought of calling to remind you, I hope you're okay." On the other end of the phone, Bian Mu felt a little embarrassed. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart because he couldn't help Engineer Dong.

It seemed like he was being too eager.

"Oh! Some time ago, I saw many people posting videos about their experience of self-studying Chinese medicine online. I found it quite interesting. Two or three of my relatives and friends have also started to self-study Chinese medicine. I thought that the same principle applies to medicine and medicine. I have some basic knowledge. I also read books when I have nothing to do. From what you said... the dampness has increased suddenly, which is definitely not a good thing for people like us who are a little weak. Then... what symptoms will generally appear?" Dong Yuhu asked casually on the other end of the phone.

"The so-called dampness problem, in the scope of traditional Chinese medicine, generally refers to functional disorders in water metabolism. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: 'Its root is in the kidneys, and its end is in the lungs! They are all water accumulation!' Later, a famous doctor added: 'Its quality is in the spleen.' The kidneys, lungs, and spleen in the sense of traditional Chinese medicine include the kidneys, lungs, and spleen, but are not limited to this. It is a generalized concept. Water vapor, most of the time, manifests as dampness. If it is not discharged for a long time, it is easy to cause cold stagnation, which is often manifested as phlegm. If it develops to the level of chronic disease, we often call it phlegm-damp constitution. In this regard, you are a little worse." On the phone, Bian Mu patiently explained.

"Oh... It sounds quite interesting, much better than me reading books blindly. Then... Why is the increase in humidity in the air bad for people with special constitutions like us? What is the specific logical process?" Dong Yuhu asked very carefully on the other end of the phone.

"This... is roughly like this. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs are responsible for exhalation and the kidneys are responsible for inhalation. If the air is tight, there is a problem with the lungs, which is a superficial symptom; functional disorders in the kidneys are another superficial symptom, which is mainly manifested as poor inhalation. We might as well reverse the process of the increase in moisture and phlegm. The absorption system controlled by kidney qi inhales a large amount of rainwater and moisture, which naturally increases the workload of the lungs to exhale. If the time scale is extended, people with a constitution like yours are prone to phlegm, and it often occurs in the second half of the night. The first thing you do when you get up in the morning is often to go to the bathroom to expel phlegm first, and not to go out. As expected, it should be light yellow sputum; not only that, in the second half of the night, you will feel a foreign body in your throat from time to time, which has a great impact on your sleep quality. It is the kind of feeling that you can't feel better without vomiting, and you sleep in a daze, which has a great impact on your sleep quality. Occasionally, you will want to go to the bathroom to vomit, and then go back to sleep. Later... you find that it is difficult to fall asleep again immediately. When it is almost dawn, you feel tired. Go back to sleep, it's time to go to work. In the long run, your physical condition will slowly decline. "Bian Mu is very patient and explained as patiently as possible for a long time.

"Ah?! We haven't seen each other for a long time. Why do I feel like you just took my pulse in person? Amazing! No wonder I'm getting better and worse, it seems the root is here. The symptoms you just guessed are almost exactly the same as what I usually feel. Then... do you want to prescribe some medicine and recuperate?"

"No! I believe in Teacher Meng's diagnosis, but... considering your current symptoms, it's best to eat more white radish every day. White radish breaks qi. A certain amount of grams per day can be eaten raw, just like eating apples. In addition, every other day, boil some cabbage soup to drink. You can put some shrimp skin, bean curd, etc. in it. Other ingredients are not added. The odd and even numbers are staggered, one breaks and the other stands, and the yin and yang complement each other. Slowly, the phlegm and dampness in the body will gradually dissolve."

"It's that simple! I'm tired of taking Chinese medicine. Fortunately, you called me today to talk to me. I guess I'll be relieved soon."

"That's great! I have nothing else to do. If there's nothing else, I'll have to hang up." Bian Mu said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"Thanks! I'll come to your clinic to take your pulse some other day?"

"Okay! Then... let's wait until the rain stops!"

"Okay, I'll just have a chance to verify whether the dietary therapy you prescribed is effective these days."

"I'll do it, bye!" After saying that, Bian Mu hung up the phone.
